Well, I guess it depends on why you were assigning <GIN> to $test.
If you were doing it because you wanted to assign the current line of the program to 
$test, you could just cut out the middleman and do something like:
 
while($test = <GIN>){
 
or if you just want to check the status of the current line somewhere, why don't you 
just do a
 
$test = $_;
 
I guess it would help if you let us know what you were trying to do.

        Yea, I did do the $test = <GIN>;
        Is there anyway to sync them back up instead of rewriting my code?
